You have a closed mind.
Christians are open minded because they are truth seekers. You will never be able to learn truth if you are closed minded.

Why are you closed minded to the Gospel of Gods Grace in Christ, Tulip ?

I, like you, do have a particular lens I look at the world through. But my lens certainly allows me to see and understand the gospel.
I am not sure why you think we see salvation as being imposed, as if people are brought kicking and screaming into the kingdom. I do believe that without God changing our hearts we are absolutely unwilling and unable to come to him. Tell me why you think you had the free will ability to choose God. Plenty of verses to show why you would not have that free will choice.
Any particular reason you choose to attack rather than make a rational defense of your position? I rather suspect you realize that most of what you say can not be substantiated from the Scriptures.
On the day of Pentecost thousands upon thousands of Jews heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the very first time and were saved. Some of these Jews had participated in the crucifixion of Christ, Acts 2:36.
People are converted to Christ by hearing and believing the Gospel. I happen to be one of them. Paul said that... "The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes" Romans 1:16.
People can hear and can believe. What makes you think that God sent his only begotten Son into the world to die on the cross for the sins of the world and then hides it from some?

You have heard the Gospel and don't believe!
How would you know? You don't even know what the Gospel is. You think that John Calvin invented the Gospel.
Spoken like all inculcated people. No desire for truth or even learning it.
Jim Jones fooled many as well.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Paul also indicated that the hierarchy (apostles/bishops, i.e., Magisterium) of Christ's one historic Church are the Lord's ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:20; cf. Eph. 6:20; Philemon 9), whose teachings are equally binding and authoritative with Jesus' own teachings (Lk. 10:16)---indeed, they are one and the same (1 Tim. 3:15). The Church is thus Christ's chosen instrument of redemption for the world (Mt. 28:18-20).
Already answered just above.
Amen.
Already directly refuted above.
No, although Jesus Christ himself equated himself and his one historic Church such that to reject his Church is likewise to reject Jesus himself (Lk. 10:16; 1 Tim. 3:15). That puts you in quite a spot, doesn't it.
End of thread.

This is what you think that John 3:16 is saying.
God so loved the world that he gave us the Catholic church, that whosoever believes in the Catholic church should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Nah. Tulip is just another flower. Sorry.
